While we understand that cell phones are an important tool for accessing information, we also recognize that they can be a distraction in the classroom. To create a focused and respectful learning environment, we ask participants to follow these simple guidelines:

• Please refrain from texting or making calls during class time.

• Turn off or silence your phone’s ringer to avoid disruptions.

• Respect the privacy of others—photos and videos are not allowed without prior consent.

By following these guidelines, we can ensure a positive and distraction-free experience for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation!

We are committed to creating an emotionally safe learning environment where all participants feel respected, valued, and able to engage in open, healthy interactions. In this space, everyone should feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment or discrimination.

As a participant, you play a key role in maintaining this environment by:

• Showing respect for your fellow students and instructors at all times.

• Engaging in discussions in a constructive and thoughtful manner.

• Offering support and encouragement to your peers.

• Taking responsibility for your own behavior and ensuring that it contributes positively to the classroom atmosphere.

• Respecting the diversity of thought, ideas, and experiences shared by others.

• Addressing any concerns or discomforts respectfully, either with the instructor or privately, to ensure the class remains a safe space for everyone.

Your participation helps foster a positive and inclusive learning environment for all. Let’s work together to create a space where everyone feels empowered to learn and grow!

To create a supportive and effective learning environment, we all agree to the following ground rules:

1. Acknowledgment and Forgiveness: We understand that mistakes will happen, and we agree to acknowledge and forgive each other, including ourselves, when they do. Mistakes are a natural part of learning, and we are committed to learning from them.

2. Respect for All: This is a classroom environment, and the individuals here are not real patients. It’s okay to make mistakes and learn in this space as we grow together.

3. Embrace Risky Ideas: We encourage you to try on new ideas and ask questions—even the risky ones! Curiosity is key to growth, and we value each person’s willingness to explore and learn.

4. Mutual Regard: You will hold your fellow classmates in positive mutual regard, supporting each other’s learning journey with kindness and respect.

5. Genuine Curiosity: Approach this learning experience with genuine curiosity and openness. Let’s explore, ask questions, and discover new ways to grow together.

6. Physical Activity & Rest: These courses involve physical practice, and regardless of your health status, it’s important to balance practice with rest periods. Pay attention to your own and others’ fatigue levels during practice sessions. If needed, take breaks to avoid physical discomfort, such as light-headedness, bruising, or blisters. Please note that individuals with pre-existing conditions may experience aggravation of these problems. We encourage you to pace yourself and listen to your body to ensure a safe and effective learning experience.

1. BLS Provider Course Requirements:

Participants must meet the following requirements to successfully complete the BLS Provider Course:

• Completion of HSFC BLS for Healthcare Provider (C): Evidence of successful completion of the HSFC BLS for Healthcare Provider (C) Course must be provided, with certification dated within one year prior to starting the BLS course.

• Attendance: Participants must attend all teaching and evaluation sessions.

• Written Examination: A minimum score of 84% is required on the closed-book, multiple-choice written examination to pass the course.

2. Course Remediation:

The goal of the Heart & Stroke Foundation (HSFC) BLS course is to prepare participants to provide resuscitation efforts that maximize the chances for survival and recovery. If a participant does not successfully complete all components of the course, remediation may be required. Remediation can be completed during the course or after, depending on the circumstances.

If a participant is still not successful after remediation, they will be required to repeat the course.

2.1 Remediation for Written Examinations:

The remediation criteria for the BLS written examination are as follows:

• Supplemental Examination: One supplemental closed-book written examination is permitted.

• Time Frame: The supplemental examination must be completed within 30 working days from the original course date.

• Supervision: The examination rewrite must be supervised by an instructor or a provincial HSF-approved proctor.

• Minimum Score: A score of 84% or greater is required to pass the supplemental examination.

2.2 Remediation for Skills Evaluation:

• Retest Opportunity: Participants are allowed one retest opportunity during the course. If a participant does not successfully complete the skills evaluation on the first attempt, they will be offered remediation and allowed to retest.

• Skills Components: The skills evaluation includes critical components such as CPR and AED skills. Participants must demonstrate proficiency in these skills to complete the course.

In the event of any conflicts during the course, we will follow the conflict resolution policy of the agency representing the course. While most classroom behaviors can be managed through communication and intervention, it is important to recognize when a situation is beyond our control. If you feel unsafe at any point, stop the class immediately and contact the police. Any situation involving violence or the threat of violence will be taken seriously and reported without delay.
